Missing woman found dead

Another missing person’s case ended tragically for an elderly woman last week. Detectives with the Visalia Police Department found the body of a missing woman, 83-year-old Eunice Collins of Visalia, at 2:40 p.m. along the canal bank in the 4200 block of W. Laura in Visalia.

“The investigation is continuing however foul play is not suspected at this time,” Sgt. Damon Maurice said in a released statement.

Collins had been missing since June 3, meaning she did not have access to her medication for a diagnosed mental illness. She was unable to drive and it was suspected that she was on foot for most of the time.
